How sad is this?

Best movie ever!

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I was really disappointed, i was expecting more from this film.The beautiful scenery is the only thing positive i can say about this movie.I didn't enjoy the film due to its racist content!It wasn't enough that Americans destroyed their land and murdered their race they make Indians appear hostile,villains and without manners.That's why it was hard for me to sympathize any of the protagonist(Matt,Kay etc.). Marilyn is pretty as always and sings lovely but that alone cant make the film better.It has bad special effects(especially on the river). About the story not much is going on, there is not much action.In general i would only suggest it because Marilyn Monroe and Robert Mitchum are the protagonists and you're a fan.I really enjoyed though the scene in the beginning where Padre (the priest) says:"i came here as a missioner to the Indians but the white men need me more"

WOW, no wonder Marilyn Monroe is a timeless Icon, what beauty, what class what charm and what a soulful voice, she could of been just a great singer, she did it all.... And I don't know to what extent her guitar playing was but if sure looks to me like she was playing the guitar, could of been open tuning.... Norma Jeane, timeless vibrations you gave us Dear, Thru ages-never another talent will be your peer....... You left us lovely Goddess way to soon, see you act and dance, feel your soul croon... Yes it came thru on the silver screen, millions of devoted fans on your divine feminine team. Too soon you left us, our tears testify, Jolton Joe Knew and loved my oh my... Yes our 1st lady of sexual flame, burned out to fast, it was them who were to blame............ We all love you Marilyn

Otto Preminger directed this western that stars Robert Mitchum as Northwest wilderness rancher Matt Calder, who helps a man named Harry Weston(played by Rory Calhoun) who was in trouble, but after refusing to loan or sell his horse and rifle, beats Matt and simply steals them, fleeing to a nearby town to file a mining claim he won in a poker game. Enraged, and frightened by the prospect of being defenseless against encroaching Indians, he takes his son Mark(played by Tommy Rettig) and Harry's beautiful fiancée(played by Marilyn Monroe, whom Harry left behind!) down river on a raft to get even with Weston, and retrieve what belongs to him. Good cast and lush production make it watchable, even if the story is unremarkable and its outcome entirely predictable.

The greed of a reckless gambler who has won a mining claim in a poker game forces three people, a farmer named Matt Calder (Robert Mitchum), his son and the gambler's wife, Kay (Marilyn Monroe), into an adventure down the river and through the wilderness from which they may never return.Robert Mitchum never fails, but Marilyn Monroe I have always found to be overrated. She is not as attractive as she is made out to be, and her acting typically revolved around her being a "dumb blonde" character. This was thankfully a rare exception -- in this film, I learned that Monroe can act (but still not sing, and was dubbed).Monroe and director Otto Preminger were allegedly pressured into making this film by the studio because of their contracts. This might lead you to think they did not put their hearts in it. And maybe they did not, but it still comes across as a better than average western... why has no one heard of it?
